“A Financial Times analysis of more than 350,000 posts on X related to the election, gathered since the snap poll was announced in March, revealed a network of co-ordinated accounts pushing content to boost Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre and tarnish his counterpart, the Liberal’s Mark Carney.”

In Trump's America cruelty is the point. And nothing is more cruel than the abuse of children. In US courts migrant children as young as 4 are being put on trial without legal representation and subject to arbitrary deportation. Please read my latest. charlieangus.substack.com/p/trumps-war...

Pierre Poilievre named #1 spreader of disinformation in Canada by ChatGPT

If you're a billionaire, Poilievre's got a hat (and a plan) for you. For the rest of us? It's a price tag on Canadian sovereignty. Vote to protect public media. Vote to save the CBC. #SaveTheCBC #StopTheSlide #CdnPoli

Pierre's plan would cut 100,000 public service jobs over 10 years, at a time when we need all hands on deck to defend our country from Donald Trump's trade war. Carleton, you deserve better. Monday is Election Day. Make your vote count. #FanjoyVsPoilievre

Poilievre isn’t leading—he’s obeying. From barking Trump’s lines to targeting the CBC, he’s copying extremism, not leading Canada. Vote smart. Save the CBC. #SaveTheCBC #TrumpNorth #CdnPoli

“It’s no secret that Pierre Poilievre hates journalists, particularly anyone who’s going to scrutinize his policies. That is, quite frankly, an unforgivable sin for any politician.“ Poilievre’s disdain for the institution of journalism is shameful. An editorial by @taylornoakes.com.

“Conservative MPs have been consistent in their attempts to introduce and/or support the introduction of anti-abortion legislation, amplify anti-2SLGBTQIA+ rhetoric, align themselves with far-right politicians and personalities, and chip away at access to reproductive and sexual health services.”

Poilievre’s been on the public payroll since he was 24—with the biggest taxpayer-funded pension in history coming his way. But he calls CBC “government funded” like it’s a smear? That’s not accountability. That’s hypocrisy. #SaveTheCBC #PoilievreExposed #CdnPoli

IMPORTANT: “As Canadians prepare to go to the polls on Monday, they are being bombarded with misleading rightwing content on US social media platforms that has fuelled concerns about their potentially damaging role in the general election.” The easiest, most constant & most dangerous interference.

“Canada Proud — a group whose team Pierre Poilievre reportedly hired in 2022 — ran between $150K and $200K in anti-Carney attack ads, paid for by donors to ‘the cause.’ Some ads paired false allegations with AI photos — disinformation viewed by millions.” An editorial by @mtltoula.bsky.social

“Pierre Poilievre voted against the Canadian Dental Care Plan, $10/day daycare, the Canada Child Benefit and raising the federal minimum wage, all while whining about the affordability crisis. He also voted against a proposal to build 4 million new homes.” An editorial by @taylornoakes.com.

Trump can’t stop talking about Canada. Poilievre can’t stop copying him. If we lose the CBC, we lose one of the last defenses against U.S.-style chaos. Vote to keep Canada Canadian. Vote to save the CBC. #SaveTheCBC #NoMAGAinCanada #CdnPoli #StopTheSlide

Reading Obama’s tribute to Pope Francis is a stark reminder of how far presidential dignity has fallen. Where there was once eloquence, compassion, and moral clarity, we now endure a swaggering caricature—petty, reckless, and painfully unworthy of the office.

If the almost 1.4 BILLION Catholics of the world, and every other moral person of good will and judgement, really wants to honour the life, leadership and faith of Pope Francis in the wake of his sad passing, they would fight to make LAUDATO SI, his powerful call for climate action, a REAL priority.

Excellent piece by @inklesspw.bsky.social that cuts through the gaslighting and puerile drivel. And it puts into sharp focus why so many Canadians are ready to park their votes anywhere that is likely to keep Poilievre out of power. open.substack.com/pub/paulwell...
